American Robin is a 1832 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of birds, mostly robins, perched on a branch. The birds are brown and red, with black heads and white undersides. Some are eating berries, while others are sitting in a nest. The branch is surrounded by green leaves, and the background is a light beige color. The overall effect is one of natural beauty and tranquility. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the work of artist Havell, Jr., Robert.
